I just want to chime in on a couple of issues I consider to be the biggest with raids.
#1. First and foremost, the biggest problem with raids is the 3 a.m. reset. Raids should reset 24 hours after they're started, or at a reasonable time in the guild leaders time zone if the former is not possible for some reason. I consider this a huge issue relative to all other issues.
#2. Raid gear rewards. I completely understand the desire to slow down the farm for characters. I don't necessarily have a problem with it. My problem is the randomness. I want hololenses right now. I don't want purple discs, or whatever else the unobtainable stuff is. I'm glad you can buy specific gear in the guild shop. I think you should be able to raid for specific gear. When I farm stun cuffs, I'm not farming a chance for a stun cuff or a stun cuff equivalent item. It should be the same with raids. In its current form, I will get 3 different pieces of unobtainable gear at roughly the same time. It will take three times as long. It's more fun to target what you want and progress toward it.
Tldr: raid reset time changed asap. Raid drop types of gear less random.
